Top Things to do in Cinque Terre
What to do and see in Cinque Terre, Liguria: The Best Food & Drink
You'll find rugged beauty and a slow pace in the Cinque Terre. Named for the five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, this portion of the Italian Riviera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cars aren't allowed, so take local trains or ferries to go from town to town—or walk one of the spectacular trails that connect them.

Roberto & Alessandra welcome you into their cozy hideaway cantina to learn about the traditional ways of make their Cinque Terre wine, along with tasting paired with cheeses. We had a private tasting for two, which cost $75 and includes a bottle of their wine valued at $50-$55. They do not sell their wine outside of Cinque Terre as it is small production, and therefor is truly a local treat. Roberto & Alessandra were wonderful, knowledgeable, and able to answer any questions we had. Roberto produces the wine himself from start to finish...everything from planting, pruning, picking the grapes, to producing the wine. The wine was delicious....sweet and bursting with intense honey, citrus, and golden raisin flavors. It paired wonderfully with the blue cheese they provided. Thank you again for welcoming us in on this raining day and sharing a piece of Cinque Terre history with us!! Grazie Mille!

Our lessons are great fun for all the family with discounts available for children and large groups.. Special occasions can also be catered for and gift vouchers are also available.

Vegetarian or Gluten free options are available. We now also run a Pesto Masterclass every evening at 5.00pm.. This is a shorter class than our main lesson and you will be preparing dinner rather than lunch.. Both the Cooking Lessons and also the Pesto Masterclass are held every day.

We had a great experience at the Cinque Terre Cooking School. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and brought to the site. Our teacher, Mr. Mendez, was very knowledgeable and skillful; entertaining too. We learned how to make pesto the traditional way, as well as an excellent baked sea bass. Also, gnocchi, stuffed vegetables and a delicious cake. To top it off, we were able to enjoy our cooking on their lovely terrace overlooking Monterosso al Mare below. What a wonderful day!

Do NOT leave Vernazza without going to this place. Beautiful rustic-industrial interior and well-displayed spirits. Pesto class is phenomenal. Worth every €. Alessi is a charming teacher; his knowledge of the region and ability to impart the local history of not just the wines but the tools, oils, and ingredients makes the class a uniquely memorable experience. He also happens to be a skilled mixologist, humbly dishing out the best drinks in town. Carol is sweet and attentive. Together they are very warm and welcoming hosts.

You must visit! The owners bring you in like family and are so incredibly genuine. The pictures don’t do this beautiful home justice! It’s magical! If they are unfortunately booked for your stay you must visit for dinner or a wine tasting. You will not be disappointed! We have three small children under the age of 9 and this was their favorite part of our trip (my husband and mine too). There is a huge courtyard for the children to play. The kids also get to explore the lemon orchards, grape vineyard, and bee keepers. I can’t get over what a beautiful hidden gem this place is!!! Just gorgeous!
